Although Yuan Yao briefly held the upper hand, more and more puppets arrived, leaving her struggling to deal with them all.
Lu Shang stood not far away, and some puppets even circled around to attack him.
By now, Yuan Yao had also noticed Lu Shang standing to one side. She knew that the Nascent Soul Cultivator behind her meant her no harm.
Still, out of caution, she had not asked him for help at first.
But she had yet to finish off the puppets, and they seemed to be deliberately directing all their attacks at her.
After a short while, even she began to struggle.
"Senior Lu, I humbly ask you to deal with these puppets."
Naturally, Lu Shang had noticed Yuan Yao's predicament. Even if she had not asked for aid, he would have intervened.
Once Lu Shang acted, he easily disposed of the troublesome puppets, then bid Yuan Yao farewell and headed toward the Hanli Platform.
A strange feeling.
It doesn't feel like me.
Lu Shang stood where he was and thought for a while.
When he reached the outside of the Hanli Platform, he saw the Righteous and Demonic Paths fighting, seemingly over some treasure.
Just as Lu Shang cast a spell to conceal himself, an inexplicable feeling suddenly arose.
Yet he could not work out what it was.
Helpless, Lu Shang could only proceed alone.
"Tian Wuzi, Man Huzi, Wan Tianming, Layman Qingyi." Looking up, Lu Shang discovered that one person was missing.
It was the dark, thin old cultivator from the righteous path.
Could they have left a Nascent Soul Cultivator inside to guard against me?
No! If that were the case, Man Huzi certainly wouldn't agree. After all, Xuan Gu is still one of his people.
